Schloss Favorite, Baroque hunting lodge in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

The Schloss Favorite features both Baroque and Neo-classical elements across its architectural design, with a notable flat roof terrace overlooking the surrounding grounds.

Duke Eberhard Ludwig commissioned the construction of Schloss Favorite in 1713, starting as a pheasant farm before evolving into an entertainment venue for nobility.

The palace incorporated a hidden music gallery where musicians performed while guests danced below, reflecting the entertainment customs of German aristocracy.

Visitors can explore the exterior architecture and grounds of Schloss Favorite, located at Favoritepark 1 in Ludwigsburg, though interior photography is not permitted.

King Frederick I preserved one room in its original Baroque style while modernizing the rest of the palace with Neo-classical decor in 1806.

Uncommon places to visit in Baden-Württemberg

Baden-Württemberg offers a wide range of destinations beyond the usual routes. The region includes medieval castle ruins such as Hohentwiel, Hohenbaden, and Yburg, medieval monasteries like Maulbronn and Alpirsbach, and palaces such as Lichtenstein and Weikersheim. Geological formations shape the landscape: the Blautopf displays a karst spring with distinctive water color, the Wutach Gorge cuts through limestone layers, and Wimsen Cave lies in the Danube Valley. Numerous waterfalls including Urach Falls and Menzenschwand Falls complement the natural offerings. The region combines historical and contemporary elements. The Wildline suspension bridge spans the Enz Valley, the Rottweil Test Tower serves as an elevator testing facility and viewing platform, and the historic Sauschwänzlebahn railway runs on a track featuring loops and tunnels. Parks such as Hohenheim Gardens and Rosenstein Park offer botanical collections. The market square in Freudenstadt displays typical Black Forest architecture, and the Neubulach Silver Mine provides insights into historic mining operations.
